Getting There
Traveling to Palm Springs is easier than ever thanks to the ultra-convenient Palm Springs International Airport (PSP), located just minutes from downtown Palm Springs and the Convention Center. The airport is served by numerous carriers from major cities.
As an alternative, conference attendees may choose to fly in to Ontario International Airport (ONT), located approximately 70 miles west of the Palm Springs Convention Center. It is a medium-hub, full-service airport with commercial jet service to major U.S. cities and through-service to many international destinations.
Prefer to drive? Palm Springs is easily accessible via Interstate Highway 10 from the Los Angeles area.
